With summer coming around I’m not looking forward to the upcoming TX summer.  I think it’s going to be even more humid than usual.  Regardless, it makes me pine for a northwest summer, where you cherish every day that is about 70 degrees.  Every sign of warmth was an excuse to play catch and practice(?) for church league softball.

Recently I came across this cover(courtesy of Fong Songs), which reminded me of how much I Iove Cake (the band, not the baked good – I prefer pie).  This song reminds me of summers in Portland and driving to Multnomah Falls with a good friend and fellow Cake lover.

Kim Richey – Mexico (Cake cover)

He always let me pick the music in his Stang.  I always appreciated that.  He’s on a list of people I need to call. This cover is dedicated to him.  Also, dedicated to the fact that Cinco de Mayo crept up on me and flew right past me.  I showed up at school totally unprepared to celebrate.
